Have you ever wondered why it is that the older you get, the harder it is to maintain your weight, let alone lose it?

Is there a solution?

In your small intestine there are finger-like protrusions called villi. If you look it up in the dictionary it's under 'villus.' It is through the villi that the absorption of nutrients from the food you eat takes place. Through the years your villi become damaged and they break off.

Things that can damage your villi include:

• stress
• alcohol
• additives
• airborne toxins such as exhaust fumes
• medications
• smoking
• fat
• preservatives
• drugs
• salt

As your villi continue to become more and more heavily damaged, it becomes increasingly difficult for your body to absorb all of the nutrients it needs.

So what happens when your body is not absorbing nutrients from the food you eat?

First of all, you start needing more food -- your appetite and your cravings increase because your body needs more nutrients. You also start to crave fats and sugars because they are the easiest substances for your body to absorb for quick energy.

You become fatigued when your body is not getting the proper nutrition. When your villi are not healthy, your body thinks it is starving and stores instead of burns fat.

You may be saying, "Well, I eat really well and I have a healthy diet of low-fat and natural foods, plus I take vitamins." Some of you may even be working out at the gym. Even though you may be doing all these things, you can still be experiencing the symptoms I just described. The underlying problem is most likely absorption. No matter how much good healthy food and vitamins you take in - if your body is not absorbing them - they are not doing you any good.

To get your excess weight off, and to keep it off, you need to feed your body at the cellular level. Good nutrition is essential for the replacement, renewal and repair of cells and is the foundation of long-term good health. It is truly the pathway to optimum wellness, function and longevity.
